STORIES ABOUT ANIMALS.

J. B. Bacon, Of Ballock, Ga, estrayed .
Texas pony few months ago, and this Is
the way it came out: Mr. Bacon's bill, $21;
sherifrs bills, s13: printers bills, IS; total,
$40; pony brought s1s; loss, s27. The pony
died three days after he was sold.
A citizen of Norwich. Conn, has q most re-
markable cat. When he goes out with his
gun the cat follows him like a setter dog. She
b an observing creature, and when she dis
covered that every time her owner went out
with a gun she was feasted with sparrow,
she took to following him. She keeps behind
him, and when he shoots stops at his heels.
When the bird falls she runs and retrie~es like
dog.
A man in Keyport, n. j., built fire in the
kitchen range and was preparing to leave the
room when he heard strange noises from
within the stove. 1t first he was startled
and then began an investigation he had no
sooner removed the covers than a large owl
jumped out Of the range and began flying
blindly about the room. The bird was caught,
but died in a short time. In the night it had
come down through long tile chimney into
the range.
A big bull dog was recently cast to play a
most admired part in sensational drama at
a Cincinnati theatre. At critical point in
the play every night he bounded out and
seized the villain by the throat, holding on
in true bull dog fashion, amid great applause.
The other night the dog grabbed the man as
usual, but tlc incentive for his exertion, a
big piece OF liver concealed around the mans
neck, gave way, and his dogship stood there
before the tootlights and devoured it. He
was not encored.
Mr.. c. Hauser of Waterbury. Connecticut.
is anxious 10 find a cat who has a record
which viii baat that of his dog Leo. Some
years ago lie was run over by freight train,
his tail cat OF and his eyes nearly forced out
of their sockets. After this his owner lost
him on q train near Hartford, and two years
afterward found him ON the streets by mere
accident Since then, once while living at
New Britain, Mr.. Hauser awoze to find his
pet with larSe bullet hole in his head and
the animal nearly frozen to death, q condition
from which he recovered only to be poisoned
last fall and made a cripple for life.
A truthful citizen OF Romney, Maine, says
that the other day he saw a dog trying to
bury I've rabbit which he had caught. He
held the rabbit III his mouth while he dug its
grave with his paws. When the grave was
prepared, lla put its unwilling occupant into
it, covered i up carefully, and, after patting
the dirt well with its paws, retired to a little
distance and lay down, watching it. Presently
bunny, doubtless thinking Judgment day had
arrived, arose from the tomb and started of
on run. The dog soon caught him and
buried him again Three times the little
animal resurrected itself, and each time the
CO., caught and buried it, but on the fourth
tr1ai killed it before processing with the

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.

Mr. Frank NJ Hardage lives four miles
from Marietta, on the Powder Springs road
on Mr.. Frank Watson's place. On last Fri
day after the noon meal, he left his wife and
child in perfect health and went to the field
to haul rails. About 2oelock, dark clouds
rolled up and rain began to fall slightly, ac-
companed with peals of thunder and vivid
flashes of lightning. He stopped with his
wagon under Mr. Gus Edwards wagon shed
and after the rain was over he resumed
work. About FIVE o'clock he went to the
house and found his wife dead in the yard
under tree, near a wash tub. His cries of
distress brought to the scene several of his
neighbors who carried her in the house.
Upon investigation it was discovered that
she had been engaged in washing, when a
bolt Of lightning struck the tree against
which the tub leaned, and that the electric
current descended and killed her instantly
A blue spot was over one of her eyes, while
a long dark streak extended from the back
of her neck the full length of her body.
Her death was a sgd one. She was a most
excellent young woman, about Il years old,
the daughter of the widow Dunton living
near Powder Springs. She had been mar
ried about eighteen months and leaves lit
tie girl about seven months old Mr. Hard
age is heart-broken over his sad bereaye-
ment.

treats all diseases Of the hoof and limb
founder, &c, and also does shoeing on pure

est importance to the horse-owning public,
as it is a well established fact that nine
tenths Of all hoof and limb diseases arise di-
rectly from shooting done by men who know
nothing Of the anatomy Of the foot, and
and therefore cannot detect the approach Of
disease, nor can they treat it when it is de-
yeloped, a. 10 what he has been able to ae.

Mr. EDlToR--I see in the Atlanta Con
situation that Atlanta is to be made the ter
minus of the NJ Il n G. Railroad We all
remember the many meetings held in Mari

to help build this road. The citizens of Ma
rietta aud Cobb county who originated the
enterprise, secured the charter and contrib
uted their money to help build it, giving
the right of way, &c did so with the ex-
pressed understanding that Marietta was to
be the Southern terminus, and now to ex-
tend the road to Atlanta is TO defeat that
understanding, abuse their generosity and
confidence and work injustice to Marietta
and her interests To extend the road be-
